The Icon and Cover image you choose will make your guide stand out. When you first get started on your guide, you will be prompted to upload an Icon and Cover image. You can also come back and edit these later anytime.
The Guide Icon
The guide icon is a 232 pixels wide, 192 pixels tall .PNG or .JPG file.
In the My Guides area of Guidebook and Branded multi-guide apps, the guide icon will appear next to each guide name in the My Guides list.
Across all platforms, the guide icon will appear in the drawer navigation menu. If you have the Interact feature enabled, users will see your guide icon at the top of the feed as well. In this example, the guide icon is the Guidebook logo.
The Cover Image
Guides now use an 8:3 aspect ratio for the cover image. For best results, upload a 1440 pixels wide, 720 pixels tall .PNG or .JPG file and keep your key content — logos, text, and faces — within the centered safe zone (the middle 540 pixels of height). The image importer still accepts 1440 × 720px files, but the top and bottom 90px may be cropped in some areas, including the General Info page and Interact, so center your design accordingly.
This is a great place for a banner about your guide's topic, for a logo, or for some other image like a skyline or group of people.
In the Guidebook app and in Branded Multi-guide apps, the cover image will appear above the guides' names on the Find Guide tab and in the Invitations section of the My Guides tab.
Across all platforms, the cover image appears across the top of the General Info page and behind a transparent overlay at the top of the drawer navigation menu. If you have the Interact feature enabled, users will see a greyed-out version of the cover image at the top of the feed as well.
If you share your Guidebook Web page, the cover image will show on the Details page and the icon will show at the top left.
Uploading Your Guide Icon and Cover Image
Select a distinct guide icon and an eye-catching cover image to help your guide look unique and polished.
From the guide-building screen in builder, click on your General Info menu item or on the Edit guide details button in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Then, select the Branding tab.
To edit the guide icon, click on the blue pencil in the middle of the window. To edit the cover image, click on the blue pencil towards the top-left corner.
The blue pencil button will open a file browser for you to choose an image file (.png or .jpg) from your computer. Choose the image you would like to upload, and then use the slider to increase or decrease the size of your file as needed. You can click and drag the image or use the two buttons on the right (center and return to original dimensions) to orient the icon as you would like.
Click Crop and Save and then click the Save button in the Branding tab of General Info or Guide Details.
